Adafruit VEML7700 Lux Sensor - I2C Light Sensor [PID:4162] - (AD46484)

Description:

Vishay has a lot of light sensors, and this is a simple and nice lux sensor that is easy to add to any microcontroller. Most light sensors only give you a number for brighter/darker ambient lighting. The VEML7700 makes your life easier by calculating the lux, which is an SI unit for light. You'll get more consistent readings between multiple sensors because you aren't dealing with some unit-less values.

The sensor has a 16-bit dynamic range for ambient light detection from 0 lux to approximately 120 klux with a resolution of up to 0.0036 lx/ct, with software adjustable gain and integration times.

The interface is easy - this sensor uses simple and universal I2C. We put this sensor on a breakout board with a 3.3V regulator and logic level shifter so you can use it with 3.3V or 5V power/logic microcontrollers. We've written libraries for Arduino (C/C++) and for CircuitPython (Python 3) so you can use this sensor with almost any kind of device, even a Raspberry Pi!

This is Kattni's first PCB design for Adafruit - it's even signed on the back!
